The City of Houston's Historic Preservation Ordinance amendments were adopted on October 13, 2010. The process
included numerous community meetings and an unprecedented public input process involving over 1,000 stakeholders. The
amended Ordinance gives permanent protection to historic properties within historic districts and pending historic districts;
eliminates the 90-day waiver for historic districts, and includes revisions for the provision for Certificates of Appropriateness
(COA).
